The River Plate defender is of great interest to the green and white team
They will have to wait for a procedure with Willian José’s passport…
Betis is clear that the loss of Marc Bartra will trigger a winter signing. Of course, those of Manuel Pellegrini are still not clear, although now a new name has emerged that is gaining a lot of strength: Paulo Díaz.
River Plate’s central defender has contract until December 2024so its transfer will have to be negotiated. With the River Plate entity he accumulates 129 gameswhich has allowed him to be international 41 times with Chile.
At 29 years old, the defender is the main option for the Betic defense after the operation by Sokratis Papastathopoulos fell. The 35-year-old Greek center back, free after leaving Olympiacos, did not reach a financial agreement with the Spanish club and will not land at Benito Villamarín.
Of course, according to information from ‘Marca’, the operation will have to wait for the release of a foreign quota. Luiz Henrique, Abner and Willian José currently occupies the three available places, although the latter is waiting to obtain his passport to free up what would be the position for Paulo Díaz.
